Hire Like You Mean It -Systems, Support & the CEO Shift with Kate Lenihan

Ever feel like you're constantly busy but never quite getting ahead in your business? 

In this episode, I’m joined by my client and hiring expert Kate Lenihan, and we’re pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to make your first VA hire work. 

We’re talking messy mistakes (yes, I’ve made them), how to know when you’re ready, and why hiring someone isn’t a magic fix unless you approach it properly. 

This one's for the business owners who are ready to stop doing it all and finally get the support they actually need.

Highlights:

(06:01) When is the right time to hire?

(09:45) The hidden cost of doing it all

(12:18) How hiring the wrong VA drains everything

(17:55) Mistakes most business owners make when hiring

(24:12) Why personality fit matters more than skills

(33:45) The freedom that comes with the right hire
